    This is my set-up. Got the pump from a commercial power generator service company. It came off a day tank that was used to supply diesel fuel to a generator. Adapted hoses to the pump that allow me to suck out of pails and discharge directly into the fill tube. I had a buddy sweat the male adapter to a piece of copper pipe. I got a guy who takes the oil for his own.

    Gotta say, a place like LubeZone can do it cheaper but I just don't trust anyone to grease my truck.
